GM Prices its CNG Van Options in US

September 2, 2010 | USA, Detroit MI
Chevrolet Express G2500 Cargo Van - CNG power later this year

Chevrolet Express G2500 Cargo Van - CNG option priced at USD 41,890

General Motors Co. has announced CNG option pricing for Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans. The fully integrated and dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) option, available this fall for Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans, will be priced at USD 15,910 MSRP.

The all-inclusive CNG option for commercial customers includes a dedicated CNG system, a natural gas-capable Vortec 6.0L V8 engine, and heavy duty trailering equipment. The GM press release says Chevrolet and GMC are the only full-line vehicle brands to offer a “check-the-box” CNG option for vans.

Joyce Mattman, director of Commercial Product and Specialty Vehicles said, “Our CNG vans come with a fully integrated CNG fuel system, a comprehensive warranty, emissions compliance and strong dealer support, all for one price.”

Pricing for the all-inclusive CNG option includes a dedicated CNG system ($14,590), a natural gas-capable Vortec 6.0L V8 engine ($1,295), as well as HD trailering equipment ($265). A $240 credit for deleting the spare tire brings the package price to $15,910 (* – see below for details of applicable tax credits). So the total cost of either a 2011 Chevrolet Express or 2011 GMC Savana Cargo model, which starts at $25,980 would be $41,890 with the CNG option (minus tax credits as noted below).

Powered by a Vortec 6.0L V8 engine, the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans come equipped with hardened exhaust valves, and intake and exhaust valve seats for improved wear resistance and durability with gaseous fuel systems.

The vans will meet all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission certification requirements, and will be fully compliant with applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Each CNG Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana van also will be covered by GM’s three-year, 36,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.

Editor’s note * As these vans are in the 8501-14,000# GVWR range they qualify for $8000 of Federal Tax Credits (80% of $10,000 Incremental Cost Cap as the retrofit system meets CARB certs). Source – NGVAmerica.
